AN: Alright, I tallied the votes about the main pairing and here are the vote results:

In third place with ten vote we have Lilith Moon

In second place with eleven votes we have Natalie

And in first place we have Susan with fifteen

I also had three people vote for Susan as a concubine and another who voted that Natalie be an 'employee with benefits'. While I may consider having Susan be a concubine to continue her line I won't be doing the suggestion for Natalie. Another person pointed out the possibility of adding in the Black family. The final decision will be selected later on in the story.

Harry Potter and the Heart of Power

Chapter 5

-Harry-

The moment they reached his penthouse Natalie shoved him down onto the bed with a commanding "Explain." As she began pacing back and forth.

"I realized that having goblins or house elves acting as a security for my businesses would be…less than well received," he answered slowly, trying to remain in practice of giving politically safe answers "but I still wanted to stand out and make a statement so I decided on muggleborns.".

"Muggleborns," Anastasia said in surprise as she paused "care to explain?".

"Muggleborns have an extraordinarily difficult time finding employ outside of Hogwarts," he answered the beautiful Malfoy woman as she sat down next to him on the bed "mainly due to many magical businesses having a preference for hiring purebloods and others who don't have that preference are still wary of Muggleborns due to them being raised outside of the magical culture and, as such, not having much respect or appreciation for magical traditions. While some traditions are, I admit, a bit dated they are still a part of our culture and do have a purpose, the muggleborn and muggle raised tend to try to change things without trying to find out the reason for why things are the way they are.".

"Which makes it harder for those who actually do want to understand the culture," Anastasia said with a nod "I follow you so far.".

"Well several years ago one muggleborn had an idea," he continued "seeing as muggleborns are taken up at the age of eleven and brought to Hogwarts, in the past often kidnapped by the Ministry while the parents had their minds wiped, they were kept from the muggle world for seven years and then given no chance at employment. Girls had the chance to marry someone from a half or pureblood family or become a concubine while men could maybe become vassals but most were left on the streets to fend for themselves. But one of them had an idea and approached the muggle government and requested that those who have finished their 'education' in the ways of magic would be allowed to join the muggle military to serve their country. I found several of them through various contacts that had finished their tours in the military and hired them at the Casino, they have an anonymous position and get good pay.".

"And with their training you know for a fact they can do the job," Anastasia said with a grin "a win-win.".

"I've also considered selecting a few of them and setting them up as mercenaries and bounty hunters for those who want to hire private security," he added "it would certainly add a reputation for Lightning Strike Enterprises, people would certainly be less willing to cheat or rob my businesses.".

"You don't do anything halfway, do you?" Anastasia asked with a grin to which he just gave a cheeky laugh. Sighing the beautiful woman pinched the bridge of her nose "Do you mind if I crash here tonight? I had a little too much to drink at the celebration to trust apparating or portkeying and the cot in my office isn't all that comfortable.".

"Feel free," he said with a smile and a nod "I figured you or Ragnok would end up staying over at some point so there are a few guest bedrooms here. Just chose one and your name will appear on the door for whenever you stay over.".

"You're a lifesaver Harry," Anastasia said with a relieved sigh as she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, giggling when he flushed bright red "I'll see you in the morning.".

Sighing he watched her leave, positive she was swaying her hips like that just to tease him, before flopping onto his back, staring at his ceiling and just knowing that it would be a hard to get to sleep with her on his mind.

-Gringotts: Ragnok's office-

"So how's the potion and the 'tooth' coming along?" he asked the Gringotts director as he got comfortable, Anastasia sitting next to him looking confused.

"It's almost complete," Ragnok said with a nod "give us another couple of days and the tooth will be ready while the potion is already prepared and the ingredients readied.".

"Um…care to explain what tooth you two are talking about?" Anastasia asked with a raised eyebrow causing him to give her a grin.

"It was a theoretical idea I came up with along with one of the researchers in the time compression chamber," he explained to her "it's made of human ivory so it is identical to a natural tooth but is hollow and injects the person who has it implanted with a potion every hour on the hour and is connected to a larger reservoir. This tooth is going to be linked to cauldrons that have an altered Polyjuice potion which has my own hair as well as a drop of blood from a metamorphomagus. The man who came up with the potion was already in the chamber when I entered and he collected one of my hairs a day so that a different potion can be made for every day. The potion will allow me to look like an eleven year old but I will still have the stronger build I do now.".

"And with the tooth nobody will be able to tell what's going on and once you graduate or your dual identities comes out you can simply have it removed and a new tooth grown in." Anastasia breathed out in awe "It's perfect! I've been wracking my brain for weeks trying to think of a way to keep your identity and new appearance a secret when you go off to Hogwarts.". Suddenly a frown crossed her features "But how are you affording this venture? That much Polyjuice would be ridiculously expensive if you're making a different batch for every day…or are you just making one giant batch and keeping the rest of it under preservation charms while adding the hair later?".

"The second option," Ragnok assured her "and while it will still be expensive it won't be to the level of making a couple thousand cauldrons full. Harry simply agreed to let us take five percent of the Casino's profits a month until we've been paid back…and if last night was any indication I doubt it will take too long.".

"It does look rather profitable," Anastasia said with a small laugh "and I doubt anyone will try to cheat it again for a little while after seeing what happened to Mundungus Fletcher.".

"Speaking of the little thief," Ragnok said with a grin "Amelia was beyond thrilled at you catching him. She's been looking for a reason to bring him in for years but Dumbledore kept getting the little rat off as Fletcher was our 'favorite' Headmaster's informant in the underground markets. Now though she has hard evidence of once crime which gave her room to interrogate the little weasel about anymore…I think it's safe to say that Fletcher won't be a free man again for a long time. Amelia Bones actually send you a gift basket.", as Ragnok finished the goblin reached under his desk and brought out a large basket filled with several fruits, a couple bottles of wine, one very old looking bottle of Firewhisky, and a letter tucked inside.

"All this for one little thief?" he asked in surprise "She must have had something personal against the guy.".

"She's hopeful that she'll get information about Dumbledore from him," Ragnok elaborated "she doesn't like how much power Dumbledore has and wants to remove a good portion of Dumbledore's influence and every little bit helps. Your catching Fletcher was her first big breakthrough she's had since she started.".

"That makes more sense." he said with a nod before turning to Anastasia "Ana, would you be willing to write out a contract to for Amelia Bones so that she can hire out one of my security forces that also has experience as a Private Investigator. It might help her cause and will put us in a good light with her.".

"Of course Harry," Anastasia said with a nod as she took the quill and parchment and Quill from Ragnok "I am your private attorney after all.".

"And here I thought you were his betrothed." Ragnok said with a grin and a cackle before gulping when Anastasia glared at the goblin.

"Explain." She demanded from the Director, much more harshly than she had of hi the previous night.

"I still get the Daily Prophet to keep an eye on what they're saying about us," Ragnok said quickly "and this morning they put out an article saying how as you were Harry's date to the opening event last night you must be betrothed to him…a bit of a leap of logic I admit.".

Sighing he turned to Anastasia "Remind me to talk to Natalie about writing an article stating how I am, as of yet, unengaged and how we are simply friends at the current moment.".

"Trying to defuse the situation and prevent any future problems that might arise or backlash from a misinterpreted statement?" Anastasia asked with a small smirk.

"Basically," he said with a shrug "but we don't have much time left before I go to Hogwarts and we need to plan how the company is going to be managed while I'm away.".

AN: It has been decided that Harry's dual identities won't be revealed at first so here are your options, the one with the most votes wins:

Option one: Second year, the basilisk knocks him into a pillar during their fight and he doesn't realize it knocked out the tooth until he's in the Great Hall and the potion wears off.

Option two: Third year, the dementor's abilities have negative effects on the tooth which reveal his dual identities

Option three: Fourth year, Harry's name comes out of the cup but someone had entered 'Lord Peverell' as well and the two pieces of paper fused to say "Harry Potter, Lord Peverell" which reveals it.
